This weekend was a nice balance of work and play, I spent time with friends, indulged in some fashion and enjoyed some down-time which was a much appreciated rarity.

On Friday night I was invited to attend a Pre-Junos cocktail party hosted by RW&CO. The event took place in a penthouse suite (used for outfitting celebrities such as Simple Plan, Sam Roberts & Down with Webster) at the Westin Ottawa, (one of the city's swankiest hotels) and guests were treated to elegant hors d'oeuvres, fruity cocktails and were able to preview RW&CO's new spring/summer collection.

| A new thrifted purse from Goodwill (only $5) and my bag of RW&CO goodies (I managed to buy 8 necklaces with my $25 gift card!) |
 |
| Skirt, Top, Blazer & Scarf- Thrifted; Hosiery- Lilac Lingerie; Ring- H&M; Shoes- Charlotte Russe |
This is what I wore to work on Saturday for a makeup program soft launch (isn't my job fun!) It's still quite brisk in Ottawa so pantyhose and layers are a must! I'm linking up this outfit to Inspiration Monday, mine being the Canuck cold weather version!

I don't like to make a big deal of my Birthday (which was March 22nd) and usually don't have a party but this year my best friend decided to host a soiree for me on Saturday night and it was a fun, intimate evening with 10 friends, lots of candy, sushi, homemade vegan cupcakes and dancing (actually that was just me Zumba dancing in the living room after a few cocktails!) Plus it gave me an excuse to wear my black tutu, sparkly vintage vest and thigh high boots for a look that screamed showgirl!
And then on Sunday I cleaned, did laundry and organized my house which can be quite the relaxing activity when you have nothing else planned! I wore my pjs all day and ate left-over B-day cupcakes for breakfast- now that's what I call a food day!
What a fun weekend! Happy birthday Emily!

Sounds like a pretty stellar weekend! Your birthday outfit is fun and festive. I'm impressed you managed to combine over-the-knee boots with sparkles and a tutu and look with gusto. Just one of those on its own would be tricky to pull off. And GREAT deal on that Goodwill purse! (PS Is Goodwill the same as Salvation Army? That's what comes up in google when I type it in)
ReplyDeletelook at you, you little hottie on your birthday (happy belated birthday, by the way)! i love all of your outfits, the purple tights, the tutu and vest and that cream skirt...all gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday to you! I love that you were zumba dancing after a few cocktails. :) I usuallly make everyone karaoke on the Wii.
ReplyDeleteI love all your outfits. It's so fun to see how you incorporate all your awesome thrifted finds.
